How to Prevent Winter Storm Damage on Your Property

Last year was a record breaking winter for storm damaged properties. In the wake of all the destruction, many homeowners were left wondering: “What could I have done to prevent catastrophic storm damage?” While it’s impossible to predict the next storm, there are actions you can take to greatly reduce your risk of tree damage.

Why Some Trees Fair Better in Strong Storms than Others

Washington Lane in Huntingdon Valley suffered some of the worst storm damage last year. However, one property, owned by a Giroud Tree & Lawn customer, escaped practically unscathed!

“We consistently do maintenance pruning at this property,” explains Drew Slousky, Giroud Arborist and Vice President. “Since this customer has us out there for routine health and safety inspections, we can catch any issues before they become big problems.”

The only way to know for sure if your trees and shrubs are healthy and safe is to have an ISA Certified Arborist conduct a thorough post storm inspection. Call today to schedule this FREE appointment with your Giroud Arborist!
